We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Beaver Island Lodge and it was amazing! It was so fun to rent out every room in the lodge with our friends. It rained the entire day of our wedding and the beaver island lodge staff helped in every way. Can’t beat the views of Lake Michigan and the staff, especially Han, TJ, Eric and Chef Jason. Thank you all for making our wedding weekend so special!
My husband and I are on our last day here and we have enjoyed our stay so much. The rooms are clean, the staff is beyond friendly and personable. We are staying in the downstairs suite and the views are breathtaking! We love the restaurant our server was so exceptional and the food was out of this world!!! My husband introduced me to the owners before we had dinner and they were so friendly! 5 star service and spectacular scenery!!! 10 out of 10 experience!
I recently stayed at the Beaver Island Lodge for the 4th summer in a row, and will be back. This is truly a place to relax and unwind, both in terms of the island overall and the lodge. The rooms are cozy, comfortable, and so clean. The lodge managers, TJ and Johan, are welcoming and always willing to answer questions about the island. Although the lodge is lovely exactly as it is, improvements are made each year without sacrificing the character of the hotel. I hope this place never really changes much. Thank you for another wonderful stay.
Beaver Island Lodge was the most perfect place to stay on the island. We had an incredible view from our room and we were just a short walk away from a beautiful beach. The room was extremely clean and we even got to check in a little early. Johan and TJ were so awesome! They were so helpful with our entire stay. They also told us a lot about the island. We want to go back next summer and will definitely be staying at Beaver Island Lodge again.
My husband and I were greeted with a smile and a wonderful welcome. We were given our key to room #13. The view was spectacular and found it had just been updated and was gorgeous. We were able to get a car along with our room, which was nice.. since it's hard to get a vehicle. Ate at the restaurant..I had the chicken..but my husband had the whitefish..it was amazing. The desserts were fantastic..had the raspberry cheesecake drizzled with chocolate and chocolate torte...both were out of this world. It was a very pleasant stay. I recommend The Lodge/ restaurant highly. A nice weekend vacation.
TJ and Johann go out of their way to make you feel like an old friend. I stayed in an updated room with lovely furnishings - room darkening curtains, new bedding and furniture. Very charming! The small kitchenette has everything you need for an extended stay. The young folks working the bar and restaurant do a good job and are very sweet. Great food. Awesome sunsets from the patio or your lakeside balcony. Love the updates that have been done since my last visit in 2019.
Cute place, great location, decent rooms, restaurant is great. Staff is super friendly and awesome. But unfortunately our room smells of rotten eggs! The out dated hot water heater leaks the nasty natural gas rotten egg smell out when running hot water in shower and faucet. Have to open windows and run a fan every day.
We came here for drinks and to watch the sunset. Lonnie served up some great drinks and was very attentive to us. As always when we are visiting new places, we want to ask the locals about some history and what to do. Liam stepped up and spent almost an hour with us talking about the history of the island, his upbringing, how the locals live, and what to visit while we are on the island. We were ecstatic and appreciative of his time and information! We couldn’t be more happy about the time both of Lonnie and Liam spent with us on a busy nite.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
